We are pleased to announce two strategic partnerships with Dutch genealogy services, Aldfaer and Coret Genealogy. These partnerships will help advance family history research for anyone with Dutch ancestry and relatives.

Aldfaer, founded in 1998, is a popular free genealogy program produced by the Aldfaer Foundation. As part of the agreement, MyHeritage will support the Aldfaer Foundation to allow its continued operation. Aldfaer users will have access to MyHeritage's unique matching technologies, Smart Matching and Record Matching, receiving automatic discoveries from SuperSearch, MyHeritage's database containing 5.6 billion historical records.

Did your grandmother make the best turkey stuffing? Was it your aunt’s minced pies that had you drooling at the Christmas table?

In honor of the upcoming holiday season, we’re bringing together two great traditions - food and family - for an exciting holiday competition!

We want you to send us your family's favorite holiday recipes and the stories behind them. Is it a dish passed down from an ancestor, or one made last year for the first time? A unique dish to your family or a traditional one? Why do you love that recipe and what's the story behind it?

One lucky winner - with the best recipe and family story - will have the chance to have a personal chef prepare a delicious meal for you and your family at your home. We'll collect a selection of our favorite submitted family recipes and prepare a special international holiday cookbook with recipes and stories from around the globe.

In 1918, at the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month, an armistice was declared between the Allies and Germany, marking the end to the “Great War.”

Benjamin Disraeli once said, “The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.” Remembrance Day is just one way to honor the memory of our historic ancestors who fought for their lives in service.

We're excited to introduce our new and enhanced online family tree editor!

The old online family tree editor on MyHeritage was loved by our users, but it was based on Adobe Flash technology which has, over time, become obsolete. We aim to constantly provide our users with the best tools for building their family trees, so the tree editor had to be reinvented, and developed from scratch using newer technologies such as HTML5 and Angular JS. The new family tree editor is faster and easier to use. It runs smoothly on smartphones and tablets. Another important benefit is that Record Matches can now be accessed directly from the family tree. Most importantly, the new editor provides better performance, especially for large trees.

We've been releasing the new version of the online tree editor gradually, while receiving and addressing feedback from our users. This week, we're delighted to complete the introduction of the enhanced family tree editor to all MyHeritage users.

The look and feel of the new family tree editor is very similar to the previous editor, but it includes many enhancements and subtle changes described below. The post below is very detailed, it's probably the longest we've ever written for the blog We encourage you to read it in detail in order to learn all about the enhanced family tree editor, and how you can make the most of it.
